#8 @Caesar — I hate the Ortiz art, too. I love the idea of art prints for each episode, but I hate the execution. I’m happy for those who do like them, but let’s just say that I’m not surprised that they’re on clearance. :-)

I got the book cheap and it’s something fun to flip through but I don’t need it in any other form. Rittenhouse made a whole card series out of them and that’s the first set I had no interest in getting in a long long time.

1. I’ve never understood the appeal of bobble heads. “Your favorite character with a disproportionately huge head that that body could never support. Oh, and it moves in ways that only a broken human neck could do!” If I wanted to see swollen heads and little bodies, I’d watch a beauty pageant.
2. Re: the Diamond Selects’ Phaser/communicator set “Now just $42.50″. I almost choked on my coffee when I read that. Was that supposed to be humor or irony? About five years ago, I bought a couple of those (when they still had the metal lids on the communicators) for less than the “sale” price now. It has simply gotten ridiculous.

16 Dis, I was about to make a comment about how I can’t understand the fascination with merchandise like bobbleheads [ecchh] but I do enjoy some of the books and now, the comics. Back in the ’80s, I bought fanzines and Trek photographs.

As we all enjoy this Labor Day weekend in North America, let’s remember that Labor Day was established to remember the efforts of the so-called “working class” to improve their social conditions. Most people will agree that Star Trek is also about improving social conditions and hence many Star Trek fans are inherently supportive of progressive movements, while many others prefer to concentrate on nonpolitical aspects of the franchise. We can all agree on one thing: Social movements have created change in our lifetimes, and the advocacy of causes for which we stand may very well reflect an aspect of our personality that expresses a most admirable interest. Whether it is democracy, freedom, justice, or simply the general advancement of humanity, this weekend is one reason our civilization may take appropriate stock of its plasticity and adaptability while remaining grounded on fundamental values.

Well, Bill Gates could afford all this crap. But that’s not really the right question.

All this crap isn’t there for just one person to acquire on their own. It’s there for friends, family, colleagues, and other gift givers to buy for you, when they can’t figure out what to get you, and suddenly remember you’re a Star Trek fan!

I enjoy your soliloquies and this one was particularly apropos, but the part of me that is tickled by the odd turn of phrase particularly enjoys that you chose to use the phrase “…one reason our civilization may take appropriate stock of its plasticity…” in a thread where we are discussing people’s fascinations with various plastic things, i.e. bobble heads.
